Joan Vassos, Susan Noles, Kathy Swarts & Nancy Hulkower Reunite for a ‘Golden Bachelor’ Girls Trip
Golden friendships!
Bachelor Nation got to know Joan Vassos, Susan Noles, Kathy Swarts, and Nancy Hulkower on the very first season of “The Golden Bachelor.”
Since their time on the show, all four Bachelor Nation stars have been keeping fans updated with their lives online and love to hang out with one another.
And over the weekend, the group reunited for a fun “Golden Bachelor” girls trip in Austin, Texas.
Nancy posted a picture of the four of them posing in front of a black wall with a giant pink heart and shared, “In Austin, Texas for a fun girls trip!! I love these ladies❤️🌹”
Susan and Joan also posted about their trip online and highlighted the fun activities they enjoyed, such as wine tasting, shopping, a boat day on the water, exploring the city, and drinking coffee on the porch while having a “Golden Coffee Talk.”
Joan shared a snippet of their chat online and revealed more details from their trip together, including eating chicken piccata for breakfast because they forgot to eat it for dinner the night before.
She said, “Golden Coffee Talk: Austin Girls Trip Edition! ☕️🌹✨” and Kathy wrote, “Sunday brunch?… Chicken Piccata😋”
The Golden Bachelor Nation stars also met up with fellow Bachelor Nation star Terri from Season 2 of “The Golden Bachelor.”
Joan wrote, “Had the BEST time with my Golden Girls in Austin! Thank you @kbswarts for being an amazing tour guide and host! It was also so nice to finally meet @texastoothlady from Season 2 of @goldenbachabc... can’t wait to meet more of the newest Golden Girls in the Bachelor Nation family! 🫶✨🌹”
So fun!
What a fun trip and it looked like everyone had a great time together. We love these Bachelor Nation friendships!
